How to Remove Water from Phone Speaker in 60 Seconds
I always tell people the same thing: take the case off, set volume to 70–80%, hold speaker facing down, and run the tool. It really is that simple.
Step-by-Step (Works on every phone)
- Remove case and screen protector
- Power off if it was heavily soaked
- Set volume to 70–80% (never max)
- Hold speaker grill straight down
- Choose mode → tap START → run 30–60 seconds
- Wait 3–5 minutes, wipe any drops, then test your sound
Which Mode Should You Choose?
| Mode | Best For | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Rain, splash, pool dip | 165 Hz |
| Heavy Duty | Full submersion | 145 Hz |
| Sweep | Still crackly after first run | 80-420 Hz |
Stop right away if sound gets harsh
Lower volume and give it more drying time. I never recommend forcing it.
Why This 165 Hz Water Eject Tool Actually Works
I always explain it like this: low-frequency sound creates strong air-pressure waves inside your speaker. At 165 Hz the waves are powerful enough to break water droplets free but gentle enough to never harm your phone (it's the same frequency Apple uses in their watches). That's why it works so well for removing water from phone speaker on iPhone and Android.
- ✅90%+ success on fresh water when used quickly
- ✅ Completely safe at 70–80% volume on all 2026 phones

Do These vs Never Do These After Water Gets In
✅ Do These (My Personal Recommendations)
Air-dry 12–72 hours
Still the #1 most effective method
Use the water eject tool + speaker down
Gravity + 165 Hz works wonders
Silica gel packets if you have them
Much better than rice

Put it in rice
Apple officially says it leaves dust
Use heat or hair dryer

Frequently Asked Questions About Fixing Wet Phone Speaker
How do I remove water from my phone speaker?
Remove the case, set volume to 70–80%, hold speaker facing down and run the tool for 30–60 seconds. Wait 3–5 minutes and test again.
Why does my speaker sound muffled after water?
Tiny water droplets get trapped in the mesh and block the sound. The 165 Hz tool shakes them loose so they can drain out.
Does the water eject tool always work?
It works great for fresh water (90%+). Saltwater and sugary drinks leave sticky residue so you may still need a professional clean.
How many times should I run it?
Start with one run. If it improves, wait 5 minutes and do one more short run. Don’t keep running it if there’s no change.
Is this safe for iPhone and Android?
Yes, it’s completely safe. It only uses browser sound at comfortable volume levels and works on every modern phone including iPhone 17, Galaxy S26 and Pixel 10.
Is rice really bad for a wet phone?
Apple officially says yes – rice leaves dust inside the ports. Air-drying or silica gel is much better.
How long should I let my phone dry?
Light water: 12–24 hours. Saltwater or soda: 48–72 hours with speaker facing down. Be patient – rushing causes more problems.
When should I take it to a repair shop?
If the sound or mic is still bad after 72 hours drying and two runs of the tool – especially after saltwater or soda.
